Alright folks, we'll be eyeballing the Cincinnati Bearcats making their play against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Nostradamus I’m not, but let’s crunch some numbers while we spin the prediction wheel.
Our buddies in Cincinnati, with a Regular Season Record of 17-13, are flaunting some competent top players. Here's a shoutout to Jizzle James, who has been putting up some solid numbers with an average of 18.4 points per game in the last month. The boy’s been on fire, ain’t he? Side note here: Dillon Mitchell and his rebound average of 6.2 is nothing to scoff at, either.
Meanwhile, over at the Oklahoma State, they've got a Regular Season Record of 14-16. Their leading men are Bryce Thompson and Abou Ousmane, moving the chains with 13.4 and 12.9 points respectively in the last month. Worth mentioning, however, is that the points tend to be more evenly spread out in their side of the field.
Digging into the vault, our crystal ball shows a close match in 2024 with the Oklahoma State Cowboys edging out the Cincinnati Bearcats 80-76. Still nursing that grudge, Cincy?
What about recent performance, you ask? Well, Bearcats won 2 out of their last 5 games, whereas the Cowboys managed to only secure a single recent win out of 5. Not exactly the roll any team wants to be on, eh?
Now, keeping all these fun facts and figures in mind, let's toss the dice. Both sport a big ol’ goose egg for AP Ranking in the Big 12, but the Cincinnati Bearcats seem to have a bit sturdier of a raft right now. So it's tipping in their direction for me.
